Exactly. There's nothing on the web addressing this argument because it's long dead and buried.
But why not, eh....
Demonstrate why geocentricity has a better explanation of the retrograde motion of planets on opposition to the sun as viewed from the earth than heliocentricity does.
Explain how parallax measurements of nearby stars against the background of distant stars is more in keeping with geocentricity than with heliocentricity.
Explain the forces that keep the earth stationary whilst the considerably more massive sun orbits it.

But you must be aware of it - it's listed in this thread. You need to show why the consensus of scientific opinion is wrong and why it isn't evidence against geocentricity.
Oh - and the point around which the sun/earth system would orbit would, I imagine, be on a line between the centres of each body, and many, many times closer to the centre of the sun. Whether it's below or above the surface is easily calculated, but I don't see the need.
